Welcome to Wardrobe!

One of the struggles we in the Wardrobe group always face is helping people over that initial step to getting started. Wardrobe for many of us is second nature, and we know it isn't difficult, but like many things has a pretty steep learning curve to those just purchasing the tool. To help those starting out I present a brand new series of videos called Welcome to Wardrobe. This series is intended to walk new users through the process of working with wardrobe from the unboxing through adding items and beyond.

First in a series of videos intended to get you started quickly with the CTS Wardrobe product. In this video we open up the CTS Wardrobe package, add the HUD to our Avatar and rez out the included CTS Wardrobe pose stand.

Part two of my getting started series covers enabling RLV in your viewer and adding the #RLV folder to your inventory. I demonstrate the steps in the Catznip Viewer in the video. If you use Firestorm you will need to follow the instructions below.

In this video we take a first peek at the Wardrobe web page. Looking at getting connected for the first time, talk a bit about security and then review the different areas of the wardrobe web page itself.

In this video we take what we have learned and create our first entry in Wardrobe. Using an included picture from the vendor we add the hair I am wearing into our Wardrobe, give it a basic set of tags and a few extra details.

In this video we expand on the hair entry we added to Wardrobe in episode 4. We wear and unwear the hair and create some sub-folders to help us better control our ability to do so.

In this video we look at how to remove one single part of an item, and we upload our 2nd item to Wardrobe using a slightly different method to get the photo and entry into our Wardrobe.

In this video we upload two more items by taking a picture and both saving one to our local computer and then using e-mail to upload an image as well.

I am super excited to cover this new product from CTS! This is the CTS Archive, which is an archiving solution made to work with the CTS Wardrobe and the rest of your inventory. In this video we cover the most basic getting started information and discuss at a very high level what this tool is designed to do.

Video number 2 in the Getting Started with CTS Archive series. In this video we look at taking an existing Wardrobe item and archiving it. This in effect allows us to remove the actual items from our inventory, and cleans up that entry on the wardrobe webpage so it only shows when we want to see items we have archived.

This is video #3 in the Getting Started with CTS Archive series. In this video we take a bunch of extra sizes for an existing item in my Wardrobe, box them up, and add them to the Archive. They are associated with the actual item in my Wardrobe for quick retrieval.

Welcome to Part #4 of the Getting Started with CTS Archive series. In this video we take a box that …

It is really hard to believe that I have been making videos for nearly a year and helping people with their wardrobes for nearly 18 months. In that time I have a made 44 videos, and my channel has been seen nearly 11,000 times! It is crazy to me to think that so many people have watched. Of course all this video content is great for existing users, but what about for someone brand new getting started with Wardrobe?

This post will serve as a bit of a play book. A guide to which videos you should watch and when to get a good jump start on using Wardrobe in Second Life. I do want to add a quick disclaimer here to say that as always all of these videos show MY way of doing things. While some of the things I show are the main way to do things, or are perhaps best practice, much of this is personal preference. Wardrobe is a tremendously flexible tool, use this as a guide for how to setup your own usage.

I really do think base outfits are one of the most powerful features in Wardrobe. They enable so much potential functionality that it really does make sense to at least understand how to create them and use them for basic dressing.In this short series of videos I cover how to create a simple base outfit and then how to save a complete outfit and apply the saved base to it.
